Wow, the string through the spring is a clever idea. I would have never thought of that spring breaking. But if it did, it certainly could cause a problem.
You have done exceptional well Scott. No such thing as a real plug and play system. I Have the same issue with my so called plug and play Dynon complex wiring and their instructions/plans. Each Cable harness usually comes terminated at one end and unterminated at other end to allow routing via small access openings then the plugs are installed. The issue is which wire goes to where with all the various avionics. I have now accepted that a technician will be required. Yours is much simpler so keep at it bit by bit. The tail area looks a perfect fit.
Please continue with the videos! I can only imagine how much more work it is to film and edit ect... just keep them coming they are are a help in see how someone else does things.
Rowdy, great idea with the string through the springs in case of failure. Recall you also stating removal of the ipad mount for access, need the cover over the junctions as a barrier in case you accidentally short the system via the spring when removing the mount.
A dorsal fin 3 x longer up the back of the plane will be much better for spin recovery characteristics. FYI. From FLIGHT TESTING HOME BUIKT AIRCRAFT Vaughan Askue.
@@roccoj083 I plan on just hard wiring , solder the wires and run through a grommet in the top of the fuselage. If stab ever needs to come off simply cut wires. No plug. Trim will run along elev LE as per instructions once painted.
String is a good idea, I have also used shrink tube (not shrunk) over the coils for the same purpose. Another great job explaining why you make the decisions you do on your build. Good call on putting down the dorsal fin, you never know when a new idea will come to you.
